Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 58

Pearl remembered Ruby Snyder, the young woman who spoke ill of her in a low voice.

Ruby had been close to Abby when the latter worked here previously.

"What? Your computer didn't crash, Miss Pearl?"

Everyone looked over and saw that Pearl's computer was still functioning.

"Our computers are down, but yours is fine. Well..."

Ruby didn't outright accuse Pearl, but her insinuations were clear. She hinted that Pearl might be behind the computer issues, raising suspicions among her colleagues.

Pearl shot Ruby a cold glare in response. "What do you mean?"

Ruby tried her best to maintain her composure. "I'm not accusing you, Miss Pearl. I'm just suggesting it's possible. If it's not you, then prove it. Don't intimidate your subordinates."

Pearl looked away and asked the others, "Do I have to prove it?"

A man cautiously spoke up, "Miss Pearl, I don't think you'd do something like this based on your character, but—"

Ruby chimed in, "It's not impossible! Everyone wants to excel in the company and stand out by putting others down."

Ruby's words triggered a realization in Pearl. "Well, Ruby, it seems like you have a good grasp of the motives behind this scheme."

Ruby looked pale but vehemently denied any involvement. "No, I don't. Don't slander me. My computer... is broken too."
